But how did United’s much-changed team fare? Our man at the game offers his player ratings.
5. Kean Bryan 5
Made his first appearance since going off injured against Blackburn in the last round and the ring rust did show, although he did link up nicely with Luke Freeman for one foray down the left Photo: Simon Bellis
6. Ben Osborn 5
Lost the ball too many times down the left wing and struggled to beat the first man consistently when in wide areas Photo: Simon Bellis
7. Ravel Morrison 6
The deepest of United's three midfielders, Morrison showed the odd flash of his quality and a good early driving run deserved better. Improved as game went on Photo: Mike Egerton
8. Mo Besic 6
Decent range of passing and seemed to reign in the aggressive side of his game, although he did get an early talking-to by referee Tim Robinson Photo: Simon Bellis
